Because there were many exclusive items that were used on the Sage Tree at the same time, the speed at which the power of the Sage Tree was lost reached an extremely shocking level.
So much so that everyone could clearly see that the entire incomparably huge Sage Tree instantly began to wither. Many branches and leaves rotted. After the branches dried up, they drooped powerlessly. The bark also wrinkled and began to fall off.
In just a few seconds, this incomparably huge Sage Tree shrunk greatly. Under the loss of a large amount of power, it became extremely weak and dispirited, as if it had already fallen to the point where it did not even have the strength to lift a branch.
This caused the eyes of everyone who witnessed this scene to light up. They felt that they had seen hope. However, they also knew that only by killing this Sage Tree would they be considered successful.
These people who controlled the mirror images increased the speed of the mirror images, allowing the mirror images to rush in front of the Sage Tree as quickly as possible.
Swoosh! These mirror images jumped up one after another. They charged towards the Sage Tree in front of them. However, the moment they approached the Sage Tree, a hole filled with sharp teeth suddenly split open on the scale-like bark of the Sage Tree. It was like a tree trunk opening its bloody mouth and sucking.
These mirror images that approached it were immediately sucked into the cracked mouth of the Sage Tree. Following that, there was a series of chewing sounds. After being bitten to pieces, it was swallowed into its stomach.
This shocked everyone.
Logically speaking, this Sage Tree should be powerless to fight back when all its strength had been exhausted. However, like the trees in this domain, it actually had a mouth filled with sharp teeth. Moreover, this mouth did not seem to be affected by the loss of power. This shocked them.
Not only that, after this Sage Tree swallowed many mirror images, its withered body actually began to recover at an astonishing speed. It was as if after it had swallowed these mirror images
These mirror images became its energy source for recovery. It caused more than half of the power that it had lost previously to recover. The powerless branches regained their vitality, and new branches and leaves grew out, emitting new vitality.
“As expected, it’s not that simple.” Xiao Shi’s gaze darkened. Although these exclusive items could directly affect Sages, Sages clearly had a way to resolve it. They would not be helpless just because of the exclusive items.
Fortunately, the devouring of the Sage Tree had a certain range. Only near it would it be sucked into its mouth. This caused the other mirror images that were not devoured to immediately leave. They could not give it a chance to absorb and recover.
But this meant that they were facing a huge problem. That was, they could not attack this Sage Tree at close range. Once it got close, it would devour it.
Although the huge body of this Sage Tree had already condensed a layer of ice in the ice domain and was constantly dying under the ice, this would only weaken it to a certain extent and not kill it.
If they wanted to deal with this Sage Tree, they could only attack from afar. However, they were clearly lacking in long-range attacks and were not powerful enough. Moreover, most of the mirror images were close-range attacks and basically did not have any long-range attacks.
Xiao Shi frowned. He knew that the greatest use of the mirror image was that it was not afraid of death. If he used the mirror image to exhaust it, he had a chance to grind this Giant Sage Tree to death. However, the devouring ability of the Sage Tree completely restrained these mirror images.
“That’s not right.” Xiao Shi suddenly realized a problem. This Sage Tree was currently in a suppressed state. Its various abilities were definitely greatly restricted. This absorption ability should be restricted.
This made Xiao Shi’s eyes flash. He had a guess in his heart. He immediately got a Martial Demon Realm cultivator beside him to control his mirror image and charge at the Sage Tree again. He wanted to verify his guess.
Although the Martial Demon Realm cultivator beside Xiao Shi was puzzled, he still chose to believe Xiao Shi under such circumstances. He immediately controlled his mirror image to turn around and kill the Sage Tree.
Whoosh!
When this mirror image rushed in front of the Sage Tree, it was not devoured by the Sage Tree. The mirror image’s attack ruthlessly struck the Sage Tree. Its attack directly pierced through the ice shell on the surface of the Giant Sage Tree and transmitted to the interior of the Giant Sage Tree. When it pierced through the ice shell, it even obtained a certain level of enhancement from the ice shell.
It allowed the Mirror Image’s attack to increase to a certain extent again.
Boom!!
Everyone could clearly see that the bark under the ice shell of the Sage Tree exploded under the attack of the mirror image. Originally, these tree barks had gradually died under the freezing of the ice shell. Now, they were easily broken by the mirror image’s attack. A gap was revealed, and dark red liquid flowed out. There were fewer and fewer fibers, revealing tender red flesh.
“I knew it!” Xiao Shi’s eyes lit up. He said to everyone, “There’s a time limit to its devouring ability. It can only be used once in a certain period of time.. It can’t be used continuously! Now is the best time to attack it!!”
